[PLUGIN] Softaculous for Direct Admin

[compibot]

Jeff, have you used this yet?

Pretty stable, people ?

 

[daveyw]

We are using this on our shared/reseller servers without any problems. Almost all customers are very happy with this.

Jeff, have you used this yet?

I presume you're asking me; I'm probably the best known Jeff on these forums, and I've posted on this thread before.

I've never been able to get the free version installed (see my previous post; I've given up and moved on to other things) and I don't want to buy the paid version until/unless I'm satisfied with the free version.

If anyone can walk me through an install of the free version, please contact me by phone/email.

Thanks.

Jeff

Hi,

Jeff I read your last post and you just asked about how to install Softaculous.
Here is the documentation :
http://www.softaculous.com/docs/install_direct_admin

Also Softaculous is used widely by many DirectAdmin Servers.

I don't remember the problem I had, but I'll try it again at some point.

Hi,

The Softaculous Team is very happy to announce the release of the WHMCS Plugin which will enable users to install a script when they sign up for a account using WHMCS.

The Documentation on installing this Module is available :
http://www.softaculous.com/wiki/index.php?title=WHMCS_Auto_Install_Module

This feature is truly unique to Softaculous and will it will enable WebHosts to further simplify Installation of Scripts for their users. Users will be able to choose from a list of scripts when they sign up in WHMCS and also give their Admin Details. When the account is created by WHMCS, it will also install the Script the user had selected.

The user can straight away go to their Blogs, forums, Wikis, etc. when the account is set up automatically.

We are also developing our Wiki / Documentation for our users :
http://www.softaculous.com/wiki/

If you have any suggestions or feed back, please post them here.

Regards,
The Softaculous Team

Tested out eyeOS this morning and all it does is give me "500 internal server error" after install. and I was reading that there have been security issues with e107. How much time do you spend researching these scripts before you add them to the collection?

Check the apache error log for your domain for the reason of the segmentation fault.

So I am guessing it has something to do with security setting???

 

[softaculous]

e107 has released a security update sir.
Also it is a VERY popular CMS. We cant go against the users will.
Just have a look at the following :
http://www.google.com/search?q="Pow...s=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a

Its more popular than mambo these days !

Also we have tested eyeOS on several servers before launching. You can check our server :

ioncube

I was trying to install and the "install" wiki referes to an ioncube installer. I click that and the link is dead.

How do I setup this software?

 

[softaculous]

The ionCube loaders are available here :
http://www.ioncube.com/loaders.php

I have updated the documentation as well.

Hi,

As most time you are facing ioncube instllation issues in directadmin when trying to install softaculous so before install softaculous install ioncube by this procedure

SSH into your server then do the following:

For 64 Bit Operating System:

cd /usr/local
wget http://downloads2.ioncube.com/loader_downloads/ioncube_loaders_lin_x86-64.tar.gz
tar -xzf ioncube_loaders_lin_x86-64.tar.gz

If you are running a 32-bit operating system, use the following:

cd /usr/local
wget http://downloads2.ioncube.com/loader_downloads/ioncube_loaders_lin_x86.tar.gz
tar -xzf ioncube_loaders_lin_x86.tar.gz

Now edit your php.ini file (hint: use 'whereis php.ini' to find where it is located)

nano -w /path/to/php.ini

If nano is not installed the run the command

yum install nano

Add the following line:

zend_extension = /usr/local/ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_5.2.so

Save the file and restart Apache/PHP

service httpd restart

Alon bro you should also add the above procedure in softaculous wiki

Regards

You need to include how to remove every trace of this software as well....

I ran the uninstall.sh, which did nothing but remove it from DA... but everything is still on the server and needed a manual delete... which should not be the case.
